JTM, you're either on too much medication or not enough.

The coaches also seem to be refusing to budge on the gameplan or mix it up from week to week, trying to ingrain it into the players. 

It's as if the coaches aren't confident about teaching multiple game plans and trying different strategies to suit our opposition. We've been found out the same way against St Kilda, Bulldogs and Port now; why is it so hard to change the gameplan after half time when clearly opposition coaches have worked us out?

I don't rate hawthorn this year. But with their forwards and ours backs it's hard to see this happening.

Maybe those that rated out Brisbane win will forgive and forget. But for those that could see it last week and didn't just look at the final score, this won't be the case.

I suspect you need a Camberwell carrot.

They are your aerials. They transmit signals directly from the cosmos and into the brain. 

 

I reckon all DLanders could use a Camberwell Carrot from time to time. Too much vitriol

why is the dogs/filth game so low scoring? i'm not watching. have they gone back to man on man or playing an extra man in the backline?

dogs are usually a free flowing attacking side that scores heavily. seems neither side can score.

Both teams bombing it into their respective fwd 50's, a lot of intercepted marks. Quite scrappy game.

Dynasties like at Hawthorn, Geelong and Brisbane developed quickly.   The way we are going the very best Is a 50/50 shot at a GF in 7-8 years. Incremental improvement is just as likely to reverse. Look at Richmond.

You mean like us having the largest statistical scoring improvement in the modern era? Or are you looking for a flag this season, ADC? I rate your posts, mate, but sometimes you're a little too negative for your own good.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
